Buffalo Chicken Fettuccine

Sometimes I get
ideas in my head for dishes that sound amazingly delicious. Then, once
they are brought to life, they don't always live up to my expectations.

The other day, after some rather annoying errands out, we stopped at a favorite
local pub for a bit of lunch. I got a Buffalo Chicken Salad that was little
more than a bed of greens, chopped tomatoes, slivers of red onion, and diced
pieces of cooked chicken that had been dredged in buffalo sauce and baked. The
chicken was amazingly good, so, ever since then I have been craving"“Buffalo Chicken” dishes. Bear in mind, I don't particularly care for chicken wings. All of those bones, the mess, the greasy fingers that never seem
to come clean, it's just not worth it to me.

So, tonight I decided I was going to make Buffalo Chicken Fettuccine. I had no
recipe, just sort of tossed things together. I thought it was good, but not
fabulous, but Mr. O-P snarfed it down like he hadn't eaten in ages. It's not a
particularly attractive dish, giving no hint as to its spicy flavor, and the
chicken is seriously hard to spot in these pictures, so the next time I may add
a tablespoon of tomato paste just to give it that Buffalo Chicken look.

This is easy to prepare if you make use of precooked chicken, as I did. Start
your pasta water when you begin your sauce, and dinner will be ready in just
under thirty minutes.

I'm so glad i found your blog the other day. This is a recipe i must try. I am always on the lookout for good buffalo bites (bonless).. We go to Fridays down the mountain and I like theirs. I love fettucini alfredo - this is a must try for me.
